Job 9:16-23

16If I summoned him and he answered me, I do not believe he would pay attention to what I said.

17He batters me with a whirlwind and multiplies my wounds without cause.

18He doesn’t let me catch my breath but fills me with bitter experiences.

19If it is a matter of strength, look, he is the powerful one! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

20Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty.

21Though I am blameless, I no longer care about myself; I renounce my life.

22It is all the same. Therefore I say, “He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.”

23When catastrophe brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
